About Me

I'm Chris. I've been doing UX and Product Design for 13 years, specializing in using design thinking processes and UX strategy to create innovative solutions for complex systems. I'm a versatile and resourceful product designer with a background in leading design projects for a global audience. My superpower is the ability to take a blank whiteboard, a multi-faceted problem, and a room full of overwhelmed people, and create a path toward a highly effective, user-centered solution. Lately, I’ve been designing business intelligence products at Microsoft and learning products at Cengage. You can see some of my recent work below. Early on, I designed mobile and web apps for the TMobile Sidekick, Microsoft, and Nokia.
